| | |  | | | | | | Printing patient, case and specimen data from your lab information system (LIS) or other databases on to cassettes and specimen slides is one of the crucial components of an efficient and error-free workflow. This data can be printed in human-readable text, linear barcodes, and two-dimensional barcodes. When technicians scan these barcodes, the result is an instant and error-free capture of data that can be used to move specimens through the lab and update their location status faster, more efficiently, and with fewer errors. | |  | | The specifics of how to integrate StainerShield cassette imagers and slide label printers, and other data collection equipment, depends on your lab's current LIS setup and your desired workflow layout. Most lab information systems include a standard engraver module that can be used to print data in text and bar code format on to cassettes using the StainerShield Laser Imager. They also include modules to print slide labels, and support many thermal printers. Handheld laser scanners and data collection terminals can be placed at workstations, and wireless terminals can be used anywhere in the lab. |
| | | General Data will work with you and your LIS vendor to help you integrate StainerShield products and other barcoding technologies into your current LIS setup and lab workflow. Our technicians can work with your lab to analyze your current setup and determine the best solution based on your needs and goals. Many LIS vendors are currently working to update their systems to include the use of barcoding for one-off specimen processing, tracking specimens through the lab, and integrate StainerShield technology. We'll be posting announcements here as these become available. Click here to request more information from General Data on how to integrate StainerShield into your LIS. |
